Slimsette Tissue and Biopsy Cassettes

made of acetal resin polymer

The Slimsette Cassettes, a new generation in the Simport Tissue and Biopsy Cassette family.
These cassettes are more compact and efficient than previous cassettes.
They feature a unique recessed cover allowing more cassettes to be stacked in automated cassette labeling machines and increasing the number of cassettes that may be stored in storage cabinets.

Slimsette Cassettes are molded from high density acetal resin polymer allowing them to sink rapidly.
Acetyl resin polymer is compatible for use with histological reagents and solvents.
The covers may be opened and closed repeatedly and always relock securely without specimen loss.

The front labeling area has a 45 angle.
Slimsette Biopsy Cassettes
A biopsy processing and embedding cassette designed to securely hold biopsy specimens.

• 0.8mm pore size
• 45 angle labeling/writing surface

Recessed covers, pre-assembled on cassettes

Sold in dispenser boxes of 500 (1 case = 3 boxes) and in a case of 10 pre-filled sleeves of 75 cassettes for Thermo MicroWriter and PrintMate automated cassette labelers.

Micromesh Biopsy Cassettes, One Compartment

with covers assembled

Cassettes have 1676 square openings of 0.38mm allowing for greatly improved fluid exchange without having to use biopsy pads.
Large anterior and posterior slots in both cassette and cover ensure that the Micromesh cassette will sink rapidly.

A large square compartment, 27mm, is perfect even for needle biopsies.
The cover does not protrude above the cassette, a great space-saving feature allowing more cassettes to be stacked in automatic labeling machines and tissue processors. 45 angle writing area.

Covers are pre-installed on cassettes.
Sold in dispenser boxes of 250 or cases of 1000.

Tissue Cassette Bases

made of acetal polymer (unless otherwise noted) for use with metal cover

Disposable plastic tissue cassette bases are suitable for holding and identifying tissue samples in processing, embedding and sectioning procedures.
The cassettes fit securely in microtome chuck adapters.

They are molded from a high density polymer that is totally resistant to the chemical action of histological solvents.
The slanted writing surface accepts writing easily, permitting sample identification throughout all stages of embedding and long afterwards when archived.

They are available in several colors.
These cassettes are made to accept standard metal lids, Product No. 27167.
Sold in dispenser boxes of 500 or cases of 1500.

Macrosette Processing/Embedding Cassettes with Covers

made of acetal polymer

Disposable cassette especially designed to hold larger specimens with a maximum thickness of 10mm during embedding and storage.

40.1 x 28.5 x 13mm H.

Sold in dispenser boxes of 250. Covers assembled.

Use with #27147-6 Disposable Deep Base Mold

Biopsy Foam Sponge Pads

made of polyester urethane foam

Biopsy Foam Sponge Pads prevent tissues from being lost during processing.

Made of cellular polyester urethane foam which is always verified for consistency throughout in order to achieve optimum solvent flow.
Biopsy samples are sandwiched between two foam pads and are placed in tissue cassettes/capsules with metal or plastic lids.

Packed 1000 per bag.
1 Case is 10 packages of 1000.

Super Mega Hex Slim Cassette

made of acetal polymer

Extra-large processing/embedding cassettes with covers.

Ideal for prostate, brain, breast tissue and eyes. Extremely useful for research and toxicology laboratories.
Optimal for large specimens grossed at 5mm thickness for improved fixation and tissue processing.

Inside dimensions: 64 x 50 x 5mm
Outside dimensions: 75 x 52 x 7mm

Use with 27197-3 Super Mega Cassette Stainless Steel Base Mold

Use 27199 Spacer Bar with Super Mega Hex Slim Cassettes in combination with 27198 for sectioning

CellSafe 5 Five Chamber Biopsy Cassettes

• Small needle core tissue specimens may be processed separately
• Ideal for breast and prostate core biopsies
• 200 x 200 micron nylon mesh screen top and bottom
• X-ray transparent fine mesh

Available in white and blue

The CellSafe is designed to contain small tissue fragments and biopsies during tissue processing.
The CellSafe 5 was developed for the simultaneous preparation of core biopsies, ideal for breast and prostate specimens.

Each well is numbered for identification.
The blue cassette aids contrast and visualization of light colored biopsies, normally experienced with breast tissue.

The acetyl resin frame and nylon mesh are suitable for use in common tissue processing reagents including Formaldehyde solutions, Bouin’s Fluid, Alcohol solutions, Xylene, Chloroform, Citrus based clearing agents and Paraffin wax (melting point up to 65 C).

If you are using any unusual reagents it is suggested that you carry out preliminary chemical compatibility tests before using the CellSafe 5 to contain tissue samples.
